I've finished in last place in two (!) marathons. Some might say I like to make an entrance.
The first time I stepped foot in a weed dispensary was to treat my dog Hunter's anxiety. He's more LA than me!
I am generally made up of 90% coffee or 90% red wine, depending on the hour of the day. I love a good Tempranillo.
I read 100% of my book club books the night before we meet.

I'm a 40-something comedian based out of L.A. But don't let the sunny weather fool you. I'm originally from the Midwest and no stranger to extreme friendliness, delicious pizza, and stocking the fridge with beer before a snow storm.
I'm on a mission to complete a marathon in all 50 states, and learned something very important about myself on this journey: I hate running. If I could complete the marathons sitting on the couch and eating deep dish, I'd be in heaven. But I'm nothing short of persistent. So I continue to lace up my shoes, and plod my way through the finish line. I'm 28 states down, and still trying to work off all this pizza.
When I'm not running, I'm usually reading. I love it so much I'm in two book clubs. I like to think this extreme literacy makes my jokes twice as funny, but I'm pretty sure it just doubles my dorkiness.
I love to use comedy and story-telling to soften the sting of life's relatable heartbreaks, especially where dating and therapy are concerned. Despite years of online dating, I'm perpetually single. I've never been married, but have gone out with a guy who ate chicken in his sleep, which drove me to seek counsel from my therapist.
